Bergen, our last seaport before we arrive in Copenhagen on Sunday. It is raining and quite cool - apparently it rains almost every day here. Our tour began at 9am and included a terrific tour of the city, a funicular ride to the top of one of the seven surrounding mountains and then a drive to Edward Greig's house in Troldhaugen. We saw where Greig lived and composed his music, the house is lovely, all wood and cosy. There is a museum nearby and a small concert hall. The house has a beautiful view of the water. Back to the ship for lunch and then we walked to the fish market. There are all sorts of food stalls selling everything from reindeer, whale and moose. George sampled all of the above (in sausage form). Whale was also on sale in large chunks! The crab looked delicious but very expensive. As is everything here, of course.
Tonight we are dining with Sue and Peter and will then go to the show which is being put on by the crew so should be good. One of the waiters, Elvis, will be singing!
Had a lovely dinner in Prime 7 last night, I had crab cake and whole Maine lobster with drawn butter. And the caramel popcorn parfait again! Will have to get a recipe for that.
Norway is beautiful country for tourist and dishes of this country is very tasty. My Metro Taxi is largest Metro Airport taxi Company with high-tech, 24 hour operation.
